Better.
Tus Record is glad to note that Mr.
Rice Benge is improving rapidly. The
left leg was broken just above the
ankle, and it was thought for a time
that amputation would be necessary.
The break was a bad one, the bone
protruding soma distance. The doc
tors now say the break will mend
without much trouble.
Been There Himself.
Capt. Mike Salter, who fought
through tho late war, was active in
getting up the supper for the boys.
The morning they left he had made,
at his individual expanse, several large
kettles of strong coffee for the boys.
It did not get done before they march

it carried to the train. We wish Capt.
Salter could get a good appointment
in the army. lie would make a true
and brave soldier.

Contest at Walnutta.
The inclement weather prevented
many from attending the contest at
Walnutta, Tuesday night, but those
who ventured out were more than
paid for it All the young ladies did
remarkably well, and many compli
ments have hicn showered upon them.
The first priz-;, a gold medal, was
awarded to Miss Elcne Hiatt, and the
second, a subscription to the American
Home Magazine, was given to Miss
Fannie Spratt At the conclusion oi
tne contest, an old-fashioned quilting
bee was given, in which Misses Jennie
Wallace and Lucy Ramsey, took the
principal part
Honor to Them.
On Friday afternoon, R. H. Tomlin
son, J. J1. Uuncan, Judge liurnside.
and one or two others, suggested thai
a supper be spread for the soldier boys
previous to their departure. The sug
gestion met with prompt approval and
the work was quickly commenced.
Misses Mary Miller, May Hughes and
Dove Harris readily and cheerfully
undertook the task of soliciting dona
tions for the spread. The three noble
ladies walked all afternoon in a
drenching rain, going from house to
house collecting the provisions. At
eight o'clock that night a row of ta
bles in the hall at the Court House
were ladened with many kind of good
things to tempt the palates of the
young warriors. We nave never seen
a more bountiful public supper spread
than was there for the boys. The ta
bles were waited upon by Misses Ber
tha Burnside, Nellie Marrs, Mary Mil
ler, May Hughes, Elisa Lusk, Altie
Marksbury, Bessie Bush, Alberta An
derson, Dove Harris, Lula Anderson,
and many others of Lancaster's socie
ty folks. After ample justice had been
done the supper, the boys were ad
dressed by Capt Herndon, Hon. R. H.
Tomlinson, G. B. Swinebroad, Rev.
Henry Faulconer, W. L Williams, P.
W. Spencer, Lewis Walker and others.
The speeches were all good and full of
timely advice to the boys, wno ap
plauded the speakers frequently.
Too much praise cannot be shower
ed upon the young ladies for the pat
riotic work done by them. 'J he weatl -
er was miserable, and they ran the
risk of a spell of sickness by plodding
through the rain, but they worked
bravely through the entire afternoon
and 'til ten o'clock in the n'g'it to
give the boys a good send-off and
show them that our people apprecia
ted their bravery in risking their lives
for Uncle Sam's country.

"WAR TALK.
Two attempts have been made to
poison the water used by the regulars
in camp at Mobile.
Capt Ballance, United States mus
tering' efficer, said he would rush the
Kentucky men to the front as soon as
equipments are furnished if he has to
send one company at a time.
It is claimed that no material aid
can be given the insurgents in Cuba
until at least three bases of supplies
are occupied, and then it would re
quire weeks to mobilize the insurgent
forces.
The Surgeons' Board began the
work of examining volunteers at Lex
ington Tuesday. Of 79 men in Compa
ny G, of Covington, 19 failed to pass,
and 24 men will have to be recruited
to fill the company. The work is now
progressing swiftly.
The men at Lexington are begin
ning to complain of their quarters.
They say they would prefer the open
field to the crowded buildings. Many
of them are anxious to go to the front,
and the news telling of the change in
the plans for the volunteer army to le
sent direct to the coast centers is
p easant news to them.
There may not be a great naval bat
tle at present in Porto Rican waters
unless information conveyed to the
United States. Government, is errone
ous. Instead of the expected naval
battle, we arc to have the bombard
ment of Havana and San Juan and the
military occupation of Cuba and Porto
Rico sooner than anticipated.
In consequence of this plan for im
me Hate movement against -Havana
and .San Juan, the orders for mobiliz
ing the' volunteers at Chicamauga have
been countermanded, .and the troops
ordered to that point will go instead
to Tampa Mobile and New Orleans for
fcr- immediate service in tha two isl
ands. 'It is expected to land an. army

the first to go straight through.
The Navy Department was notified
by the naval attache at Londen, that
the Spanish fleet which left the (Cape
Verde Islands April 29, and for which
Admiral Sampson is waiting near Por
to Rico, has arrived at Cadiz. The Na
vy Department evidently accepts the
report as true, and has decided to be
gin at once the reduction or San Juan
and Havana. The army is moving
rapidly to the points of embarkation
and will probably be landed in force
on C iban soil within a week, when a
joint attack by land and sea will at
one 3 be made. The attack on Porto
Rico is to be simultaneous with that
on Cuba. San Juan will be the imme
diate objective point of Rear Admiral
Sampson, who has also instructions to
destroy or capture all Spahish ships in
Porto Rican waters.
